    Mrs. Clarence Wells Buried Here Monday
    Funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Clarence Wells of Mayetta were held here Monday at 1:30 at the Methodist church conducted by the Rev. Mr. Job Wykert of Soldier, Kansas. Mrs. Wells died Sunday in St. Francis hospital, Topeka, where she had been taken for an operation, but whose condition was too serious for its performance.

    Tilla Stone Wells was born at St. Marys, Kansas, December 3, 1880 and was 40 years, 3 months and 3 days at the time of her death. At the age of 16 she united with the U.B. church at Adrian and her whole life was one of devotion to her God and her family. She was united in marriage to Clarence Wells, April 4, 1900 and eight children were born to them.

    Beside her husband her loss is mourned by five boys, Myron, George, Harold, Cecil and Hubert and two daughters, Mildred and Clara; her mothers, Mrs. David Wells of Williamstown, three sisters, Mrs. Mabel Martin of Meriden, Mrs. Jessie Stone of Holton, and Ella Stone of Delia; one brother, Clyde Wells of Williamstown, and a host of relatives and friends who will ever remember her as a wonderful wife and mother and a faithful friend.

    Rev. Wykert's text was taken from Ps. 96:12; and scripture reading from Rev. 20; 11-21.

    The pallbearers were W.V. Hook, Robert James, Harvey James, Will Van Orsdol, Frank Beal and R.A. Shipley.

    [From 10 Mar 1921]
